Partner object available for one user but not another
using the 2.5 API, when I use my adminstrator account, I see the Partner object using the describe api. Using a standard account, I do not see the Partner Object. When I try to query in the Partner table using the standard account, I get an error:
select Id, AccountFromId, AccountToId, Role, IsPrimary from Partner where AccountFromId='00130000000sWB5AAM'
msxml4.dll error 0x80004005:
Salesforce.com 2.5
INVALID_TYPE: sObject type 'Partner' is not supported.

It is probably a permissions issue because the admin user describes the Partner but the standard user does not. What specific permission governs the permissions visiblity in the API because the standard user can see and modify partners in the UI. It look likes the permissions are disabled throught the API but not the UI.

I am having the same problem. The admin user can access Partner information both through the website and API, but a user with a different profile can only access it on the website. There is an error if an attempt is made to access it through the API
In the Partner section of the API documentation it states:
"You must have the "View All Data" permission to access Partners via the API.".
Which seems to be the cause of the problem. The "View All Data" permission allows users to view all data owned by other users, so its not really something that you want to give to all users as a workaround to accessing Partner information. I'm not sure what the thinking is behind this...
